Kinetic Theory Of Gases Question 72

Question: The degree of freedom of a molecule of a triatomic gas is

Options:

A) 2

B) 4

C) 6

D) 8

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

No. of degree of freedom $=3 K-N$

Where K is no. of atom and N is the number of relations between atoms.

For triatomic gas, $K=3, N={ }^3 C_2=3$

No. of degree of freedom $=3(3)-3=6$
